I spooled both my float rods with VARIVAS Twitch Master

[@dexterrobinson4065]

The line color complements the gold/copper accents on both reels, and it’s sensitivity complements the ultralight rods you fish. Winning combination 👍🏾

Hello Victor. Yesterday evening I was able to try the very line featured in this video for the first time. I’ve been using pe for a long time and like what I’ve used so far, but this was given to me and I have to say that I like it. I live in FL and fish around some junk in the water most times and controlling the fish is ever present. The Twitch Master was very good at this, even when I had to put a little extra heat on them to do so. I didn’t use the float yet but next time out I will. I expected the casting to be diminished from the pe but not so. Distance was good and comparable to the pe also. My most used jighead weighs in at 1/43 of an ounce, not sure where that falls in grams, and casting with that light a head can be challenging. I believe I’m officially a convert and I’ll be buying more in the near future. Next up is also a lighter poundage and put it through the paces. Thanks for all you do Victor, we’re all a little smarter because of you and this channel.

Speak of the devil - I used the Twitch Master and Nogales side by side on Saturday. Totally agree - the Twitch Master was a revelation. I'm in love with this line and need to buy more. Nogales is a good line too, but Varivas says it's discontinued.

[@ifishcatfish]

yes. discontinued. Hopefully something else with that color soon.

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Thanks for the video Victor. Your set ups definitely received a workout. Glad you had a good outing! Received my rod yesterday to match up with the Shimano Exsence you reviewed. And I went with U-40 to seal the cork. Hope your wife has a great Mother’s Day!

[@ifishcatfish]

thanks Dave, i got your paypal again the other day too! You know, today is 72F with 0-5 mph wind all day. Without exaggeration this is the best day for fishing since we've moved here. But i will be a good husband and sit by the grill all day and play with the kids in the back yard to make the wife happy. Sometimes we have to do sacrifices : )

Nice day on the water Victor! Enjoyed the video, thank's

[@ifishcatfish]

thank you sir!

[@Fishermens_Vue]

Line looks nice as it performs. That new Soare is on my to buy list. Drag seems to work well. I think it will look really good on my Carabus Extreme. Thanks again for the quality content! 🐟🎣

[@ifishcatfish]

It will absolutely look amazing with carabus extreme. Also get this line!!

[@joestasiak544]

Victor you should turn into bass Angler 🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice fish thou. That sure was a real black smallmouth...Great video still waiting for your float video....⏲⏲⏲

[@ifishcatfish]

i've been working with a factory to make the perfect float. I don't want to spoil the release with float videos. We are getting close on quality.

[@bobjohnson7207]

When you cast the gold out in the sun you can really see it and control your distance easily and land the lure anywhere you want. Bill Dance was catching crappie randomly out in open water on his last video.

[@ifishcatfish]

Varivas says that this color blends great in the water and yet is easy to see. I could agree to that.

[@aidanlau795]

The way u catch those fish is infinite times better than how a bass angler catches fish.

[@ifishcatfish]

Thank man

[@whiskeykilmer1866]

That is a fun day. Thanks for the video.

[@ifishcatfish]

Thanks for watching!

[@travisnorton7194]

Hi Victor - what size braid do u recommend for ultra light fishing ?

[@ifishcatfish]

size doesn't matter for fishing as all sizes are super thin, assuming u buy something 8 lb or less. You need to consider what reel you are putting it on. Look at the recommended diameter for that reel. If u put super thin braid on some reels that are made for thicker line, then line lay is messed up

[@travisnorton7194]

@@ifishcatfish good point thank u for the tip

[@MAX99999]

Had it in the cart yesterday before watching this video. $$$ even for me. Any discount codes or sales coming up.

[@ifishcatfish]

yes, they have sales all the time, almost monthly, if you want to leave them your email for spamming purposes. I guarantee they will have a sale for fathers day, and probably before

[@hldemi]

Hi Victor. I have a question regarding the braid for UL fishing and have heard that x4 braids are better for such small diameter than x8... Is there any truth to this if you maybe know ?

[@ifishcatfish]

there is no truth to that, whatsoever

[@hldemi]

@@ifishcatfish hehe glad to sort that one out. Thanks

[@JLTFishing]

Nice video. Does this nylon monofilament line sink well in the water for jig fishing?

[@ifishcatfish]

it sinks enough...

[@JLTFishing]

@@ifishcatfish I also have a Shimano Soare XR 2000. I’m planning to use it for whitebass fishing. Using jig heads with artificial swim baits. What Varivas line would you recommend?

[@ifishcatfish]

@@JLTFishing 3 lb nylon or fc. no braid , no polyester

[@JLTFishing]

Is there a brand you would use? Thanks for answering my questions.

[@rnunyuz5003]

Great channel you have here. With this color of line do you use a leader?

[@ifishcatfish]

I do because my leader is usually thinner than the mainline. But this color blends perfectly in the lakes around me, at least from May to November. When the water gets cold and clear, u definitely want a leader

[@ajamajay2871]

Great video Victor! Enjoying the multi species days! Did you fish much in Bulgaria?

[@ifishcatfish]

i did. maybe more than here. I was catching little roach with a float. Hundreds of them per day. My biggest carp for 20 years in bulgaria was 2.2 kg.

[@fdsaffff]

what's difference between the soare xr and the complex xr? which should I buy? and buy c2000s or 2500 size? thx if u can reply me

[@ifishcatfish]

there is no difference between the two reels. Buy whichever color u like more

[@Jay-Dawg-Fishing144]

Did you do a review on the soare xr spinning reel?

[@ifishcatfish]

coming up shortly. This is why i played it in this video.

[@theangleraquarist]

I really want to get the daiwa caldia for ultralight fishing but I’m not sure what size. It would be paired with 2 lb mono or 4 lb braid

[@ifishcatfish]

2000

[@theangleraquarist]

@@ifishcatfish so the 2000 would cast further than the 1000 with that size line?

[@ifishcatfish]

theoretically. But i doubt you can tell the difference

[@theangleraquarist]

@@ifishcatfish thank you for the help!

[@greggoryus]

I'm very interested in that Soare XR... Can anyone compare it to Daiwa Airity 2000 LT? This is my second choose to XUL rod. Daiwa works very smooth and is very precisely made. I can't find Soare in my local shops, so I cannot compare it on my own. I use Vanford now, but I'm not very pleased with that to be honest. Is Soare really a better made reel, or it's just a Vanford with nice, gold/orange jacket?

[@ifishcatfish]

it has some upgrades from vanford, but pretty much a vanford

[@greggoryus]

@@ifishcatfish that's the case... I don't want to spend almost double the price of Vanford for a reel, that would be nice looking, but pretty the same with a bit harsh working drag too. Smoothness and good fit is my must have for a reel from semi expensive grade. Does it work similar as Vanford, or you can tell any difference resulting from that upgrades?

[@ifishcatfish]

@@greggoryus upgrades dont do much

[@rodrigoelgu]

that drag sounds nice

[@ifishcatfish]

interesting comment. I will be talking about that when i review the reel

[@jerrytube13]

That presso rod has some nice back bone

no, it doesnt : ) its very soft. Thats why i love it actually : )

What lb rating is the line you're using? It looks very strong. Edit: 4 lbs lol

[@ifishcatfish]

4 lb. 0.145 mm. I haven't tested the strength. When it is that thick strength no longer matters to me

[@NinjasGoFishing]

@@ifishcatfish I ordered some Varivas lines after I saw your video on them and now I may have to order some more lol. It’s going to be hard dethroning my Nanobraid line though, we shall see.

[@ifishcatfish]

man.. feeling the fish through this line is really amazing. Its pure joy. They sent me their braid. Costs $55. Super thin, casts amazing , but i just don't like how it feels. Feels like wire when u fight the fish. This line has the perfect feel for me. You feel the fish, but it is not harsh.

@@ifishcatfish you could always send me that 55 dollar braid if you aren’t going to use it :D
